ప్రభుత్వానికి అవసరమైన ఆదాయాన్ని సమకూర్చే ముఖ్యమైన సాధనాలలో Taxes – పన్నులు అత్యంత ముఖ్యమైనవి. Public Revenueను ప్రధానంగా Tax Revenue మరియు Non-Tax Revenueగా విభజించవచ్చు. ప్రజల నుంచి పన్నుల రూపంలో ప్రభుత్వం పొందే ఆదాయాన్ని Tax Revenue – పన్ను ఆదాయం అంటారు.
ప్రభుత్వం తన విధులను నిర్వహించడానికి, ప్రజా సంక్షేమ కార్యక్రమాలను అమలు చేయడానికి మరియు common interests of society కోసం expenditure చేయడానికి ప్రజలపై విధించే compulsory contributionను Tax అంటారు.
Tax is a compulsory contribution from a person to the Government without reference to special benefits conferred.
Prof. Taussig ప్రకారం tax యొక్క ముఖ్య లక్షణం taxpayer మరియు public authority మధ్య direct quid pro quo లేకపోవడం.
Taxలో Direct Quid Pro Quo ఉండదు.
Tax అనేది Governmentకు చెల్లించాల్సిన compulsory contribution.
2. Common Interest:
Tax revenueను Government society యొక్క common interests కోసం expenditure చేయడానికి ఉపయోగిస్తుంది.
3. No Direct Proportionate Benefit:
Tax చెల్లించినందుకు taxpayerకు అదే మొత్తానికి సమానమైన direct and proportionate service లభించాల్సిన అవసరం లేదు.
4. Tax Base:
Taxను income, property, commodities లేదా servicesపై విధించవచ్చు.
Tax చెల్లిస్తే taxpayerకు Government నుంచి specific service తప్పనిసరిగా లభించాలి — తప్పు.
Taxకు direct quid pro quo ఉండదు.
| Tax | Fee |
|---|---|
| Compulsory contribution | Specific serviceకు payment |
| Direct quid pro quo లేదు | Specific serviceతో సంబంధం ఉంటుంది |
| Common public purposes కోసం | Particular service కోసం |
| Example: Income Tax | Example: Registration Fee |
Tax → No Direct Return
Fee → Specific Service
Adam Smith ఒక మంచి taxation systemకు సంబంధించిన నాలుగు ముఖ్యమైన Canons of Taxationను ప్రతిపాదించాడు.
E – C – C – E
Equity → Certainty → Convenience → Economy
ప్రతి వ్యక్తి తన ability to payకు అనుగుణంగా Governmentకు tax చెల్లించాలి.
Higher ability to pay → Higher tax contribution
Taxpayerకు tax గురించి ముందుగానే స్పష్టత ఉండాలి.
✓ ఎంత tax చెల్లించాలి?
✓ ఎప్పుడు చెల్లించాలి?
✓ ఏ విధంగా చెల్లించాలి?
Taxpayerకు convenientగా ఉండే విధంగా మరియు సమయంలో tax collection జరగాలి.
Tax collectionకు అయ్యే administrative cost సాధ్యమైనంత తక్కువగా ఉండాలి.
Canon of Economy అంటే economyలో economic growth కాదు.
ఇక్కడ Economy = Minimum Collection Cost.
Income లేదా propertyపై taxpayerకు నేరుగా విధించే taxను Direct Tax అంటారు.
ఈ tax burdenను మరొక వ్యక్తికి transfer చేయడం సాధారణంగా సాధ్యం కాదు. అందువల్ల tax యొక్క Impact మరియు Incidence ఒకే వ్యక్తిపై ఉంటాయి.
Personal Income Tax
| Concept | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Impact | Tax మొదటగా ఎవరిపై విధించబడుతుందో ఆ వ్యక్తిపై initial burden |
| Incidence | చివరకు tax burdenను నిజంగా ఎవరు భరిస్తారో final burden |
Indirect Tax: Impact and Incidence can fall on different persons
Goods లేదా Servicesపై విధించే taxను Indirect Tax అంటారు. Taxను initially చెల్లించే producer/seller దాని burdenను consumerకు shift చేయగలడు.
↓
Tax burden may be shifted through price
↓
Consumer bears the final burden
GST
Customs Duty
| Basis | Direct Tax | Indirect Tax |
|---|---|---|
| Levied on | Income / Property | Goods / Services |
| Burden | Normally cannot be shifted | Can be shifted |
| Impact & Incidence | Same person | May be different persons |
| Example | Income Tax | GST |
Direct → Burden Directly on Taxpayer
Indirect → Burden can move to another person
Tax rate మరియు income మధ్య relationship ఆధారంగా taxesను మూడు రకాలుగా విభజించవచ్చు.
Income ఎంత మారినా same constant tax rate వర్తిస్తే దాన్ని Proportional Tax అంటారు.
| Income | Tax Rate | Tax Amount |
|---|---|---|
| ₹1,00,000 | 10% | ₹10,000 |
| ₹2,00,000 | 10% | ₹20,000 |
| ₹5,00,000 | 10% | ₹50,000 |
Income పెరిగే కొద్దీ applicable tax rate కూడా పెరిగే taxation systemను Progressive Tax అంటారు.
| Income Level | Illustrative Tax Rate |
|---|---|
| Low Income | 5% |
| Middle Income | 10% |
| Higher Income | 20% |
Progressive taxation is associated with the principle that taxpayers with greater ability to pay bear a higher tax rate/burden.
Income పెరిగే కొద్దీ taxpayer incomeలో tax burden యొక్క proportion తగ్గితే దాన్ని Regressive Tax అంటారు.
Progressive → Income ↑, Tax Rate/Burden proportion ↑
Regressive → Income ↑, Tax Burden proportion ↓
| Tax Type | Income Rises | Tax Rate / Relative Burden |
|---|---|---|
| Proportional | ↑ | Constant |
| Progressive | ↑ | Increases |
| Regressive | ↑ | Relative burden decreases |
Proportional → Same
Progressive → Up
Regressive → Down
Goods and Services Tax (GST) అనేది goods and services supplyపై విధించే Indirect Tax.
1 July 2017
GST అనేది comprehensive, multi-stage మరియు destination-based tax. Value addition stagesలో tax mechanism పనిచేస్తుంది.
GST Constitutional Amendment → 101st Amendment Act, 2016
GST implementation → 1 July 2017
The constitutional amendment provided for the Goods and Services Tax Council (GST Council).
✓ Union Finance Minister
✓ Union Minister of State responsible for Revenue/Finance
✓ Finance/Taxation Ministers or nominated Ministers of States
GST Council makes recommendations relating to matters such as GST rates, exemptions and thresholds.
Intra-State supplyలో Central Government share of GSTను CGST అంటారు.
Intra-State supplyలో State Government share of GSTను SGST అంటారు.
Inter-State supply of goods and servicesపై applicable GST mechanismను IGST అంటారు.
Within State → CGST + SGST
Between States → IGST
GSTలో tax revenue principle consumption/destinationతో సంబంధం కలిగి ఉంటుంది. అంటే goods/services ఎక్కడ consumed అవుతాయో ఆ destinationకు tax revenue allocationలో ప్రాధాన్యం ఉంటుంది.
Tax follows the place of consumption rather than merely the place of production.
GST introductionతో అనేక Central మరియు State indirect taxes ఒక unified frameworkలో subsume చేయబడ్డాయి.
✓ Central Excise Duty
✓ Service Tax
✓ Additional Duties of Customs
✓ State VAT
✓ Entry Tax
✓ Entertainment Tax
✓ Harmonisation of tax laws, procedures and rates
✓ Simplification of the tax system
✓ Support to investment climate
✓ Support to manufacturing and economic activity
✓ Reduction of multiple indirect-tax barriers
